The Prison Service confirmed the fugitive had been sent back to Ireland.

A spokesman said: “A prisoner who absconded from Loughan House in February 2015 has been returned to custody.

“Prisoners who are sent to open centres are given a higher level of trust within a lower security regime.

“The majority of prisoners honour that trust but there are a small minority have chosen to abscond.

“The Irish Prison Service are committed to working with the appropriate authorities to insure any person who abuses this trust and absconds is returned to custody to serve the remainder of their sentence.”
